A womens cyle..question?


Question:
My periods have always been normal and last for about 5-7 days. This time around I am working on my 8th day. The bleeding is not heavy. I am 39 years old and was just wondering what could be the problem.

Answers:
Darkness may be one of the biggest reasons menstrual cycles become irregular. Women who live near the equator or in sunny regions are more fertile and have stronger and more regular menstrual patterns than women who live in northern regions or spend more time indoors. Also, menstrual cycles during the darker winter months are longer than in the summer.

Irregularity may also be caused by stress, too much exercise, illness or weight problems. Low body weight can prevent ovulation because the body needs a minimum amount of body fat. Being overweight is linked to irregular cycles and heavy bleeding. Because of health concerns, you should consult with your doctor if you experience irregular menstrual cycles.

Restoring regular cycles: Knowing that healthy periods are in sync with the lunar cycle, scientists use artificial moonlight to regularize erratic menstrual cycles. Several studies show that using light at night regulates irregular and longer menstrual cycles, even in women whose periods lasted nine weeks or more. Irregular and long menstrual cycles were normalized within a few weeks of treatment. Apollo Health has participated in many of these studies.
I ask my mom this question since she is over 40 years old. She said that your body is going thru some changes since you are about to make your 40th birthday. My mom said the same thing happened to her. Her cycle was over and about 4 days later she was still spotting like. She went to her doctor and she said that it was normal for when you are about to make 40 years old. This also will go on until you turn 40. I hope this help.

its no prob. that happens every once in a while! since the bleeding sint heavy, then it takes more time to come out... just chill and relax! good luck!
You could be approaching menopause in the next few years. Apparently your cycle undergoes some changes then, and it can actually take quite a few years to finish menopause.
It could also just be normal hormonal changes. My cycle varies month to month too, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Good luck!
